My new 23andMe matches since version 3 results have started coming in

Late Tuesday I had 594 matches in Relative Finder at 23andMe. On Wednesday I had 624, and on Thursday I had 655. Friday I added 2 more and 2 more again today, Saturday, 29 January, for a total of 659. Only one match has been at the 3rd cousin level. The rest have been in the 4th to 5th cousin range with a few "Distant Cousins" thrown in. One person had 5 links to me and one person had a single 50cm link. So far 3 people have accepted contact and shared genomes.
